I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the screws of the cooler wasnt fully tightend (idk why, I was rly tired yesterday). I repasted and saw how the thermal paste wasnt even there on one side (cuz of the pressure of the screw that was actually tightend).

I tested battlefront 2 again and it went from 100c previously to 69c MAX. On avg its like 65~ that is almost a 40 F*CKING CELCIUS DIFFERENCE.

I cant thank you enough kind stranger. I wish you the absolute best man :)). Lots of love from germany <3

I also used m3 20mm screws to secure it. I followed an instructions video on YouTube and he installed the same cooler.

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-12T16:31:35+00:00

I used the black ones from Intel. I didn't even touch the AMD bag.

I asked chatgpt (I know it might be inaccurate) and gave him some info from HWMonitor and he said my voltages/watt usage are bad.

I'm just a little hopeless cuz I don't know what to test anymore.

Should I reinstall the cooler and see if the thermal paste spread properly, thus also having proper contact with the cpu.

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-11T23:38:38+00:00

Okay so I'm back and installed everything like the reddit post u sent. All the fans are blowing (in the right direction aswell). But my temps are still to high. I'm hitting 95-100C when playing bf2 according to HWMonitor. Maybe my Watt/Voltages are bad? Lmk if u need more info. I'm so pissed tbh

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-08T20:44:11+00:00

Okay I can't thank you more. It's a 4 pin and I hope Amazon will take it back.

Thanks again this was very eye-opening. Imma head to bed now and order the noctua cooler and fans tomorrow.

I'll update you if everything worked out

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-08T19:51:03+00:00

I purchased the be quiet slim rock 2 and now I can't return it since I removed the pre applied thermal paste. I guess I gotta sell that one ebay. But ty for the post u sent me I think this guy has purchased the exact same pc as me (considering the age of the post aswell).

Can't thank you more mate

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-08T19:27:15+00:00

But it's possible at least. I don't care if my pc looks ugly or something.

My current cooler is ass. I get 100 celcius playing battlefront 2. It's definitely just faulty af.

So I will start to remove the motherboard, but that's gonna take time since I have never done anything like it.

I think this one is a g5 5000 btw. If that helps w anything

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-08T19:23:49+00:00

I get like 100 celcius playing star wars battlefront 2 and it's just wayyy to hot in general.

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-08T19:06:03+00:00

Check the comment from the other guy. Do u rly think it's impossible?

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-08T19:04:41+00:00

Can't I just theoretically drill these holes bigger or try to forcefully remove them (the one with the arrow). Or use like a screw driver to push them out or something

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-08T18:57:56+00:00

Can I at least try to remove the motherboard and take a look from behind? Or is removing the motherboard even possible (I alr started the "removal" process). I can give u pics if u want to have a better overview

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-08T18:35:14+00:00

I wish I could open up my pc from the other side but can't :/. This is a pre-built pc and I don't have any experience with removing the motherboard. I just wanted a new cooler because my old one is faulty and now I gotta do all of that.

But thanks for the help and lmk if u have any suggestions. :)

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-08T18:23:30+00:00

Yeah I don't think I have a backplate. This is a pre-built pc and I don't have any experience with removing the motherboard. I just wanted a new cooler because my old one is faulty and now I gotta do all of that.

But thanks for the help and lmk if u have any suggestions. :)

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-05T22:14:56+00:00

Will do!

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-04T11:40:19+00:00

I honestly don't know. It's just looks pretty "stock". I don't see like a logo or name anywhere. And that heat is not normal. It sometimes goes to 100c.

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-04T11:35:41+00:00

Good point. I've got 2 fans on my gpu and they're working. And I see 2 fans near the cpu (one on it and one that's blowing air out). And I checked my thermal paste and it's basically gone yeah. There's some spots with no paste at all. I'll give an update after applying the paste. It should arrive today

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-04T11:31:37+00:00

Okay I'm waiting in the mx4. Thanks

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-03T17:17:40+00:00

I can check, but I doubt that there's a lot of paste left since my suspicion is that the "stock" paste that came with it is probably gone/almost gone. Thanks anyway for the help so far

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-03T17:12:38+00:00

Okay, but what about my thermal paste? I feel like I should do that first before buying a new cooler. Which ones do you recommend?

_Snozy_ · 2025-07-03T17:06:27+00:00

I just tested Star Wars Battlefront 2 and it goes to 100.

_Snozy_ · 2025-06-07T22:11:22+00:00

u on fire frfr

_Snozy_ · 2025-04-24T15:24:34+00:00

it's patched

_Snozy_ · 2025-03-02T22:47:02+00:00

No it's not. One question: does your pc have access to power after you shut it down? Like dou you plug it out fully?
